1 About the project

The project came to life after realizing that web scraping doesn’t allow deep-level filtering—without consuming too much time.The irony is, this project itself took me about a month, but the final RDB contains more data than I could ever scrape.

The raw data was 1.4 TB in size and holds information previously scraped.
Processing was done on my local machine using Python, Polars, and DuckDB, following this workflow:
- Processed raw data into structured Parquet files using Polars.
- Transformed each Parquet file into mini RDBs using Polars.
- Merged all mini RDBs into one using DuckDB.
- Analyzed and filtered data to fit the current project.
